As you develop your in class Nutcracker sequence you may want to explore new techniques which will be handy in your Poster Project. Masking Fluid can be used to maintain white areas, add details in textures, patterns and highlights. after the last coat of color, allow to dry completely before you remove masking fluid.
Get out and draw the signs of Spring!!!! Trees, scrubs, flowers, birds, bee's. And don't forget to BREATH!  Premix a variety of green watercolor washes. Use thin luminous layers of color mixed with water until it creates a wash. Allow washes to dry between layers. If you notice the color goes on too thick / opaque, use a paper towel or rag to dab away the excess pigment/water. Move paper as needed to not smudge your work while drying. Add pops of color and finishing touches.
DEMO: Use anatomy notes and creative problem solving to add finishing details in face, hands, feet. Add props and atmosphere to build concept.
